- my wife got a new job she really likes, after working for 15 years at her prior job that had progressively gotten less fun towards the end.
- I traveled abroad for the first time since I was a kid.
- rights for gays, oh yeah

It's been mostly a good year for me personally. I think I know what I want to do with my life. I've made some new friends. Got rid of some old ones (for good reason). Went to the west coast for the first time.

I saw Paul McCartney, and Neon Indian, both of which were awesome in their different ways, but there was a serious lack of concerts in my life.

My 2015 was insanity, upheaval, and emotional turmoil, tantalizingly mingled with possibility and excitement. I've had strong friendships triple-reinforced and let go of some things that were not good for me. I've moved from the UK back to America and am at my mother's house again as of yesterday. Naturally struggling with doubt and displacement, but the people who care about me say it's going to be okay and they're usually right. Hopefully the start of the new year will bring about some sort of resolution.
Also I went to a shit ton of amazing shows this year. I'm grateful for all the music I've heard and the people I've met in consequence (even as I'm still reeling from the grief of having to say goodbye to a few of them).
